EARIEE (SR SR That North Carolina man who is trying to have has an asset, unbeknownst to him. He’s worth a fair salary in a print- ing office just to stand around ai Jet his name be shouted out occa- gionally. If he's looking for an en- gagement we could use him, and we feel that merely calling on him would ofttn be an inestimable privilege. We forgot to mention that this gent's name is 0.

See- ing that no State ail can be expec!- ed and knowing no encouragement can be reecived from the State gov- crnment, boards of county commis- siorers and commercial bodies of towns and cities should redoubie their efforts in behalf of intelligent road building. g While it would be much more Jdreferable to construct all roads in accordance with a State-wide sys- tem, a county system is better than no system at all and each county ghould adopt a plan wnereoy all new roads are a part of the general plan. A neighborhood road that stafts no- where and ends nowhere may be of tome benefit tq that particular neigh- borhood but it does the general com- :aunity little good. It is noticeable that some of the newer and smaller counties are tak-! ing the lead in making hard roads and the next cengus reports wmK his name changed, Bhow the wisdom of the course they ! 4009 are pursuing.

PRESENT-DAY PATRIOTISM, It is exceedingly disconcerting, no doubt, for a man in regimentals to' meet a statement of this kind, but! Lave you noticed that we are all called upon to learn that patriotism these days has no more to do with a sun than it has with a broom? From by which the honest men of America Lope to see that Washington lobby sweeping out the hurtful things, this ognition, The real patriot today is the man who tries to make his country a fitter ‘ place to dwell in; he works for (lw things that mean greater cleanliness ing to give his service in humble!| labor and with no thought of becom- ing a commissioned officer or ot | tional holidays. cicent of the Westerner who ques- tioned an Indian preacher as to his galary and when told that it was $10' a year commented “D—n poor pay!” *“Yes, d—n poor preach, too,” was the frank response of the ministerial Lo. A S N S If you've got to call a man a liar, plck out some little harmless fellow like Roosevelt—don’t direct your re- mark to a Tampa policeman. Editor Newett, who was fined six cents for calling Teddy a drunkard, was not even called to task for proclaiming Teddy’s mendacity; but when a Li- oona man, on a visit to Tampa, culled a cop a liar, he was haled be- fore the jwige and fined $16. We publish this as a hint to the editors who are expected to visit Tampa soon and who might wish to indulge in the same sport as the Limona man, Its expensive, but its probably worth the money—and, of course, the edi- tors can afford it. PRSI SR R, R. Tomlin, a former Lakeland @Qewspaper man, now a citizen of Plant City, has been appointed} one of the four State supervisors of con- yicts, his appointment having just been, announced by Governor 'l‘l'an)g| mell.; Mr. Tomlin is just the man for this place—honest, fearless and | hupane—and he will see that the scnvicts have a fair deal. It has been often stated—though we do not make the charge—that the people in charge of the convict camps fre-' quertly have “‘advance informatjon' i es to the visits of these supervisors, and that as a consequence everything Is in elegant shape for inspection by the time the supervisor arrives. There will be no time allowed for this setting the stage when Tomlin is on the job. He will do his duty honestly leading a movement for the widen- *' eat beans and Arink the purest wa- "of old mother earth. In one community the greatest pa- triot may be the man or woman who i is working to secure pure milk for| i the little children; in another com- munity it may be the man who is ing of narrow streets or the making of better building regulations; in an- ,other community it may be the man who is pitted against interests that are working for evil enterprises, an? not one of these men may know a flint-lock musket from a gatling gun Martial music and floating bannera are fine for a carnival but the aoug of the hammer and the saw, the ra- diant display of color in the orchards and the gardens and the groves are better for every day use and it's good to teach the children that the days of warfare are over, that true pa- triotism consists in trying to make the “land of the free and the home of the brave a 'better country by their lives and labor here.--Miami Metropolis, PO N KISSIMMEE SAYS LAKELAND WILL BE THERE We never tire of telling a pleasing story, therefore we repeat that the Fourth of next July will be the biz- gest, the grandest day here the peo-| ple of this section of Florida ever, experienced.

Every man, woman and child in Florida desiring a package of these seed is invited to send me a postal card—not a letter—merely stating vegetable seeld or flower seed and plainly giving name and address, Do not write a letter, but use a postal card for the reason that it can be more easily filed and handled.

How often do we hear some one say, “I am so sorry I did not know that such and such was the case. I would have spoken and acted quxte dxflerently " We try to bear this in mind when we are talking to customers who are a little sharp in their language over the phone. And we ask you to bear it in mind, too, when you have a complaint to make. Just remember that the chances are the trouble is due to some mis- understanding, and that a few calm, considerate words passing be- tween us will make everything all right. At any rate, give us the first :all on your complaint—tell it to us before you tell it to anybody.else. We would do the same for you if our positions were reversed.
